1	Long Black Veil (1995) more music like this by The Chieftains With Long Black Veil, the Chieftains attempted a mainstream pop crossover by recording with rock and pop stars from the Rolling Stones and Sting to Van Morrison and Sinéad O'Connor. Instead of changing their sound to accommodate the talents of their guests, the band plays it straight. As always, their performance is superb; what is surprising is ... see all copies from $2.38! new only from $9.45!
2	The Best of the Chieftains [1992] (1992) more music like this by The Chieftains Well, sort of. The 50 minutes of music here represent the best of the group's three albums (Chieftains 7, Chieftains 8, Boil the Breakfast Early) recorded for Columbia Records during 1977, 1978, and 1979. It's a good collection, and not a bad place to start for the new listener, though it won't offer any revelations for longtime fans, who'd tuned ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $11.06!
3	Tears of Stone (1999) more music like this by The Chieftains This album is a follow-up to the 1995 album The Long Black Veil. The idea is the same: the Chieftains play house band for many guest vocalists and musicians. The difference this time around is that all the musicians and vocalists featured are women. Sinéad O'Connor is the one return performance, and she justifies that honor with her sorrowful and ... see all copies from $2.05! new only from $11.06!
4	The Bells of Dublin (1991) more music like this by The Chieftains Joined by Nancy Griffith, the Irish group presents a superb concert, blending folk and country music. Well recorded and well photographed. Bruce Eder, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99! new only from $8.29!
5	The Essential Chieftains (2006) more music like this by The Chieftains RCA Legacy's The Essential Chieftains breaks the legendary Irish collective's career into two sections. The first disc focuses on 18 of the group's finest traditional works like "Boil the Breakfast Early," "The Wind That Shakes the Barley/The Reel with the Beryle," and "Donegal Set," while the second disc relies on 17 of the band's billion or so ... see all copies from $20.39! new only from $20.39!
6	Santiago (1996) more music like this by The Chieftains Here the Chieftains have embarked upon an exploration of the "lost Celtic province" of Galicia (the northwest corner of Spain) and areas extending to Portugal, the Basque provinces, and Cuba. They have used the finest musicians from these areas to propel their music with a conviction that staggers the imagination. Santiago catapults the listener ... see all copies from $6.86! new only from $6.86!
7	James Galway & The Chieftains in Ireland (1991) more music like this by James Galway/The Chieftains ...Featuring Galway on flute and The Chieftains on harp, tin whistle, fiddle, harpsichord, bodhran and more. On side two you will hear a beautiful rendition of "Danny Boy." MusD, All Music Guide see all copies from $2.95! new only from $11.06!
8	The Chieftains 7 (1977) more music like this by The Chieftains 7 was the first Chieftains album released in the States by Columbia, though the group had been playing together and recording in some form since the early '60s. (Actually, 7 was first released in Ireland on the Claddagh label, and issued in America the subsequent year.) Truth be told, Chieftains albums don't vary enormously from one to the other. ... see all copies from $3.00! new only from $5.33!
9	The Chieftains 9: Boil the Breakfast Early (2002) more music like this by The Chieftains The big change on their ninth album, in Chieftains terms anyway, was the departure of founding members Sean Potts and Martin Tubridy, to be replaced by flutist and tin whistler Matt Molloy, formerly of Planxty and the Bothy Band. It still sounds like a Chieftains record though, mixing up the reels, hornpipes, and more gentle airs, with an energy ... see all copies from $5.33! new only from $5.33!
10	The Celtic Harp (1993) more music like this by The Chieftains Produced by head Chieftain Paddy Maloney, The Celtic Harp is essentially a showcase for the very talented harpist Derek Bell. Bell handled all of the arrangements, as well as contributed harpsichord and tiompan to the proceedings. Fine solos from flute god Matt Malloy ("Parting of Friends/Kerry Fling"), vocalist Kevin Conneff ("Green Fields of ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $11.06!
11 view cover	Irish Evening (1992) more music like this by The Chieftains While there's nothing quite like seeing the Chieftains live in concert, An Irish Evening marks the next best thing. Recorded live over two evenings at the Grand Opera House in Belfast, the disc captures the group's eclectic, fun, and loving approach to traditional Irish music. American country-folk singer/songwriter Nanci Griffith (a huge star in ... see all copies from $2.00! new only from $11.06!
12 view cover	Irish Heartbeat (1988) more music like this by Van Morrison & The Chieftains Although still purposeful, Van Morrison's '80s albums were becoming repetitive when he took a break for this collaboration with the Chieftains on traditional Irish songs. The result takes him back to his earliest days and finds him singing with renewed conviction. This album should appeal to all fans of Irish music as well as Morrison lovers. ... see all copies from $49.99!
13 view cover	Celtic Wedding: Music of Brittany (1998) more music like this by The Chieftains The Chieftains selected the music that comprises Celtic Wedding: Music of Brittany from Tonious Breizhl, a publication about traditional tunes from Lower Brittany in France. The group runs through a collection of traditional Breton songs about weddings, several carols, and dances, capturing the spirit of these traditional French celebrations. ... see all copies from $7.84! new only from $7.84!
14 view cover	Tower of Song: The Songs of Leonard Cohen (1995) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $6.77! new only from $14.65!
15 view cover	The Chieftains Collection: The Very Best of the Claddagh Years (1999) more music like this by The Chieftains Before they signed to Columbia and became an international sensation (and long before they ever recorded a concert album in China or collaborated with Tom Jones or Luciano Pavarotti), the Chieftains recorded several albums for Ireland's respected Claddagh label. The Chieftains Collection: The Very Best of the Claddagh Years features 12 tracks from ... see all copies from $16.57! new only from $16.57!
16 view cover	Live on Letterman: Music from the Late Show (1997) more music like this by Various Artists David Letterman's The Late Show always had a long tradition of excellent musical performances -- indeed, it's one of the few places on American network television where live music thrives -- so the question that surrounds the 1997 release of Live on Letterman: Music from the Late Show isn't why, but why did it take so long? There have been enough ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $8.68!
17 view cover	The Chieftains 4 (1973) more music like this by The Chieftains This record, made on the eve of the group's breakthrough in the United States, is where the modern Chieftains sound began. It is filled with too many instances of hauntingly beautiful music to name, from the gorgeous, reflective "Morgan Magan" to the rousing fiddle reel "The Bucks of Oranmore." Not only is all of the material absolutely first rate ... see all copies from $16.85! new only from $16.85!
18 view cover	The Wide World Over: A 40 Year Celebration (2002) more music like this by The Chieftains In the Chieftains' four decades of recording, they've changed labels a handful of times, and each label has seen fit to record at least one or two collections of the band's output under their tenure. At this point they have so many best-ofs and greatest-hits compilations, it's tough for the listener to know the best of what they're actually ... see all copies from $3.23! new only from $12.69!
19 view cover	Water From the Well (2000) more music like this by The Chieftains Ever since 1988's Irish Heartbeat, the Chieftains relied on guest artists on their own albums, ranging from Celtic peers to pop, rock, and country superstars, since the cameos virtually guaranteed that each new album would be treated as an event. That's also the case with 2000's Water in the Well, a traditional Irish folk/Celtic album filled with ... see all copies from $11.06! new only from $11.06!
20 view cover	Celtic Minstrel (1996) more music like this by James Galway/The Chieftains James Galway's collection of Irish songs is a pleasant album, but it will appeal more to fans of his smooth style than celtic afficianados. Sara Sytsma, All Music Guide see all copies from $2.95! new only from $12.69!
21 view cover	Down the Old Plank Road: The Nashville Sessions (2002) more music like this by The Chieftains In the wake of the success of O Brother Where Art Thou?, this collaboration between Irish supergroup the Chieftains and some of country's best known neo-traditionalists was almost inevitable. Luckily for all involved, the idea actually makes a lot of sense too. Most of the ballads and work songs that were born in the Appalachian hills have deep ... see all copies from $11.06! new only from $11.06!
22 view cover	Another Country (1992) more music like this by The Chieftains A classic for lovers of good and heartfelt music played with joy. This has Paddy Moloney and the Chieftains combining forces with one of the best assemblages of country musicians put together. A diverse group it definitely is, stretching from Ricky Skaggs to Don Williams to Colin James running into Willie Nelson and Chet Atkins and so forth in a ... see all copies from $11.01! new only from $11.06!
23 view cover	A Chieftains Celebration (1989) more music like this by The Chieftains This release features the traditional Chieftains instrumentation with the addition of drums, guitars, sax, didjeridu and cello. The Chieftains perform a medley of Scottish dance tunes, a double jig, a drinking song, a Van Morrison title (with Van M. himself), a few vocals and more. MusD, All Music Guide see all copies from $5.72! new only from $5.72!
24 view cover	Over the Sea to Skye: The Celtic Connection (1990) more music like this by James Galway/The Chieftains Over the Sea to Sky featues James Galway on flute and The Chieftains on harp, highland pipes, tin whistle, fiddles and more. This Celtic connection is perfect for St. Patty's Day. MusD, All Music Guide see all copies from $7.00! new only from $11.06!
25 view cover	Carnival: Rainforest Foundation Concert (1997) more music like this by Various Artists To the extent that you can judge a various-artists compilation by looking at the list of artists, this one is hard to beat, including newly recorded tracks by Elton John, Madonna, Paul Simon, James Taylor, Sting, Tina Turner, and Bette Midler, among others. A benefit for the Rainforest Foundation, founded by Sting and his wife, the disc has as its ... see all copies from $8.45!
